Answer 2

ANSWER: OPTION C

The half of the Earth which is north to the equator is called northern hemisphere.

The most of the world's land and population is in northern hemisphere.

In northern hemisphere, when the winds blow towards the equator, then due to rotation of earth it turns to the west direction.

This winds are called trade winds.

These winds blow from 0 degree to 30 degree latitude which is very near to equator.

This is due to Coriolis effect.
